A method for combining multiple interactions into a single record entry is disclosed. A data package can be created that represents a set of interactions, and each entity associated with an interaction can review the data package. Each entity can indicate agreement with the interactions by digitally signing the data package. Once signed by each involved entity, the data package can be stored in a record such as a blockchain.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first value is the same as the second value.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the second digital signature indicates that the second value will be transmitted even if the first value is not transmitted.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the data package data representing the plurality of interactions was generated by the first node computer.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the data package includes an address of the administrative node computer and an address of the second node computer.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the first digital signature activates a first contract associated with the first interaction, and wherein the second digital signature activates a second smart contract associated with the second interaction.
12. The method of claim 11, where the data package is a first data package, the plurality of interactions is a first plurality of interactions, and the block further includes a second data package that defines a second plurality of interactions different than the first plurality of interactions.
13. The method of claim 11, wherein the first interaction is a first payment, and wherein the second interaction is a second payment.
14. The method of claim 13, wherein the first value it a first amount in a first currency, wherein the second value is a second amount in a second currency different from the first currency.
15. The method of claim 13, wherein the first value it a first amount of the first payment, wherein the second value is a second amount of the second payment, where the second amount is less than the first amount, and wherein the data package further includes information about exchange rates or fees that are deducted from the first amount.
18. The administrative node computer of claim 16, wherein the block further includes the first digital signature and the second digital signature.
19. The administrative node computer of claim 18, wherein the second digital signature indicates that the second value will be transmitted even if the first value is not transmitted.
20. The administrative node computer of claim 16, wherein the data package was generated by the first node computer.
